COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This is the study of the general foundations of positioning techniques to obtain radiographic
demonstration of anatomical structures of interest as well as specialized radiographic examinations
of the different structures and organs without contrast media. This includes anatomic and
radiographic positioning terms, source image receptor distance and tube film alignments,
positioning principles, radiographic landmarks, exposure techniques, structures demonstrated and
evaluation criteria of examinations of the different organs. Clinical competency is very essential and
is done through positioning demonstration and return demonstrations as part of their laboratory
exercises.
GENERAL OBJECTIVE:
At the end of the course, the student should demonstrate skills in patient preparation and
proper positioning techniques for routine and specialized radiographic examinations without contrast
media.
COURSE INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
1. Assess their clients who shall undergo routine examinations taking into consideration the
requirements for each procedure.
2. Demonstrate how to conduct various radiographic procedures with confidence using standard
protocols.
3. Produce good quality images of body organs.
4. Recognize emergency situations in clients undergoing radiographic examinations.
